About Me
Well like everyone here I have been through hell and now I'm just trying to get back. I have jumped from one abusive relationship to the next. Belive me when I say that between my will to survive, my sense of humour and the fact that someone has been watching over me I probably wouldn't be here today. I owe my second chance or should I say my last chance at life to my family, they took me in again. But this time I am going to make it, this time its about my health and well being. This time I know that I do deserve whatever I want out of life, this time I really do love myself.. But hey whats not to love.

Interests
I practice homeopathic medicine. I'm into herbology, reiki, chakra cleansing, reflexology, accupressure. And find for me it works. But I need more then spiritual health and body health to heal from these scars. I need to be mentally cleansed as well. so here I am. also i'm not one of those people who doesn't bullshit in their profile i am who i am and the most important person to be true to is yourself.

I have bounced from one physical and mental abusive relationship since my divorce(which wasn't viloent) each get worse. The last one almost killed me twice. I am done with men for awhile. I just want to heal and learn to what my paterns are so that I pick healthy relationships. I was sexually molested age 8 to 9. My father was an acholic. sober now for 24yrs. The last relationship I was in we both used drugs I have been clean for 32days. And am scared straight. My ex is manic bi-polar.

Open Rape
I'm not really ready to talk about this yet. I have taken alot of blame by my ex for allowing(his words) to happen. He has always called it cheating and tells people I sleep with his friends. The ex of mine has never suffered a day of abuse but he gives he never tried to understand why I reacted to the rape the way I did. But I was raped and I didn't ask for it. my ex always said well thats not the way i would say a rape victim would respond, I certainly wouldnt have responded they way you did.

Open Migraine Headaches
Like most who suffer.. Stress, lack of sleep, bring on this light blinding terrors. Which send me to my bed for days.
Open Dyslexia
I didn't know I was dyslexic until I was 19. Until then I thought I was dumb. I bluffed my way through school learning how to con and trick. My Dsylexia is not as bad as some. But really shows up when I'm tired. My severity is not that bad. It's mostly the common letters and numbers I have prolems with 3rs and E's ect. Numbers like 5's 6's 8's actually I seem to have more problems with numbers then I do letters. I'm much happier knowing I'm not dumb.
Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Well from all the other communities I belong too its no wonder I'm here.
Treatments
- EMDR Considering
- Paxil Not Working
- Made me throw-up
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- But I found I was to dopey and the dreaming stopped. Also I found it easy to self-medicate when I was having a bad day. Good drug just gotta have self control.
- Supportive Care Working / Worked

Open Family & Friends of Bipolar
Not ready
Open Healthy Relationships
It is time now in my life to have healthy relationships and I am learning what that means to me. Its hard to have one when you don't know yourself. I have seen healthy relationships but I have not had many that were. too much co-dependancey. Which is funny considering how independant I am.

Open Bell's Palsy
I recently got Bell's Palsey, I don't know much about it. I'm scared and confused.
